About ManneQuinELITE
ManneQuinPRO versus ManneQuinBE: The PRO version has 11 databases versus one, orbit features, drawing tools, more anthropometrics options including customization of mannequin, NIOSH and biomechanics, 3DS file support, HumanForm mannequin export, and more.
The ELITE version supports IGES, STEP and STL file formats as well as includes an interface to the University of Michigan 3D SSPP.
Working with ManneQuinELITE and AutoCAD DXF Files
In AutoCAD 2002, use the export command, File/Save As. Then you can select the file type "AutoCAD R12/LT2 DXF". Simply import this file into ManneQuinELITE and all the solid/plane objects will be taken into account.
An AutoCAD script to transform solid objects into polygonal objects can be found at www.accustudio.com/marketplace/fm_freeware.htm. Look for MeshOUT.
MESHOUT.LSP : Converts 3d objects into meshes. Will also join meshes together.
3DSOLID entities in DXF files are not supported. A simple export to 3DS (from AutoCAD) will do the trick. If you must use DXF, see if your application has an option to not use "3DSOLID" entities in the DXF file.
Other PC Utilities and ManneQuinELITE's Site Key
Yes, Speed Disk is the defragmentation utility included in Symantec's Norton Utilities. Unfortunately Speed Disk moves CrypKey Instant licensing files, causing license loss. CrypKey Instant uses four special licensing files (.ent, .rst, .key and .41s) to control ManneQuinELITE licensing. These files are hidden system files and reside in the same directory as the protected product.
To prevent license loss:
- Open Speed Disk, and choose File, Options, Customize and Unmovable Files.
- Specify that the *.ENT, *.RST, *.KEY and *.41S files cannot be moved.
It could. Diskeeper should be configured to exclude Crypkey files (.key, .rst, .ent, & .41s).
Other notes to consider for users of Diskeeper using ManneQuinELITE:
If Diskeeper is trying to run while the operating system is loading then a possible conflict can occur between NetworkX and Crypkey License Service occurs.
When one has MannequinELITE installed it installs one service and one device. The device is called "Networkx" the service is called "Crypkey License". If one is using Diskeeper and one sets the boot time defrag to include chkdsk this will not only not run, but it will delete the Crypkey and require a reload of MannequinELITE. It will also fail to do the chkdsk and it will not decheck the setting in diskeeper. Kenomic (developer of Crypkey) suggests doing a screen shot of both those settings in Services and Devices, so as to have the correct settings, and then to turn off both and set them to disabled on startup. Then Boot time defrag will work with chkdsk. After boot time has finished and the computer is up and running, use the screen shot to get the settings back and reboot. It is important to not attempt to light off the Crypkey protected program before having done all this. If you do, you will have to reload the Crypkey protected program.
Another option is to not run a boot time defrag or chkdsk. Schedule a scandisk and defrag to occur after your system has completed loading of the OS.
Another option may be for Diskeeper to provide an option run the defrag/chkdsk before the operating system begins to load? eg; Launch process from the autoexec.bat.
ManneQuinELITE Registration and Site Key
Please note that you must register your software with NexGen Ergonomics Inc. in order to receive your permanent activation Site Key. This may be done via e-mail or by telephone at (514) 685-8593. If you prefer to register by phone, please have the software running and accessible when you call.
Once you have been provided with your permanent Site Key, you can authorize your software by launching ManneQuinELITE and selecting File/License Management/Authorize. Simply enter the Site Key number at the prompt.
You must have a copy of ManneQuinELITE already installed and authorized with a Site Key on one computer and another copy of ManneQuinELITE already installed but not authorized on another.
Please follow the procedure listed below:
- Register License Transfer
Start the program on the target computer (the one that you want to activate) and register the transfer by selecting File/License Management/Register License Transfer. Supply the path for the floppy disk - default is A:\. This function will place a registration imprint file on the floppy disk. Remove the floppy disk from the target computer and place it in the source computer with the registered version.
- License Transfer Out
Start the program on the source computer and transfer out by selecting File/License Management/License Transfer Out. You must supply the floppy disk path - default is A:\. This function will read the registration imprint file and write a matching license imprint file onto the floppy. It will also terminate the license source. Remove the floppy disk from the source computer and return it to the target computer.
- License Transfer In
Restart the program in the target computer and transfer in the license by selecting File/License Management/License Transfer In. You must supply the path for the floppy disk - default is A:\. This completes the license transfer and discards the intermediate imprint files.
